Yarn: Christmas Special from Stitchers Tees/Vicki Brown

Needles: 2.25mm

STATUS: BINNED

These are my Christmas Eve cast on for 2019 using the Christmas special yarn from Stitchers Tees.

They are truly the most appalling and ugly socks I have ever knitted! Wish I’d used a contrast colour, perhaps a nice deep plum or maroon, for the cuffs, heels and toes because I think it would improve them slightly, but only slightly because ugh, they are gross.

As well as being fugly, the yarn has a tiny bit of sparkle in it and luckily for me, I felted them in the washing machine (perhaps on purpose eh?) and so I threw them in the bin. So pleased about it too :D
